Garmin® Releases GTN™ 750 Trainer App for iPad 207:00 EST Tuesday, December 20, 2011
OLATHE, Kan. (Business Wire) -- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the
global leader in satellite navigation, announced today the release of a
new GTN 750 trainer app for the iPad 2. This trainer, downloadable from
the iTunes Store, simulates the behavior of the GTN 750 system interface
and provides pilots with a safe, on-the-ground environment to learn the
basic operation of the system.
“The iPad's touchscreen interface lends itself well to realistically
simulating the full GTN experience,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin's vice
president of aviation sales and marketing. “By using this tool, pilots
can interact with the trainer like they would with the device in the
cockpit, allowing them to become more familiar and comfortable with a
GTN before ever going up in the air. It's great for those who fly a
GTN-equipped aircraft including owners, renter pilots, flight
instructors, students and line pilots, as well as those who are
considering purchasing the new avionics.”
The app offers a touch and drag interface allowing users to simulate and
explore most functions of the GTN 750 including panning the map,
entering waypoints into the flight plan, loading airways, graphically
editing flight plans, radio tuning and more. High resolution North and
Central America terrain maps, worldwide NavData, simulated traffic
targets and simulated XM weather data allow the pilot to experience the
enhanced situational awareness offered by the GTN 750. The app is also
configured with product options such as TAWS-B audible alerts,
transponder control and remote audio processor control. Plus it features
user-selectable demo settings that allow the user to simulate various
flight scenarios by changing altitude, speed, location and more.
The GTN Trainer app is available now for $24.95 from the App Store on
iPad 2 or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
